T o @Mw/tom t may concern: I l

Be it known that l, JOHN A. SANQIST, a citizen of the United States, residing at blew Vlindsor, in the county of Mercer and State of illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (Sockets for Concrete Building Constructions, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to concrete building structures, and more particularly a socket ymember for supporting a stud, post or similar member 'from the Hoor of the building.

lhe invention. is designed more particularly for use in connection with corn cribs and similar structures having concrete doors, although it is not limited to such use and may readily be'employed ih connection with other building structures. A

It is the object of the invention-to provide a socket member of novel construction which can be firmly embedded in the Hoor' of the crib or other structure, and which will provide a strong and rigid support for the stud, post orsimilar member.

ln order that the invention may be betterv understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view of a fragment of a floor showing the application of the invention; Fig. 2 isa vertical section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspec tive view of' the 'socket member: Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and Figs. 5 and 6 are plan views showing modications.

Referring specifically to the drawing, the socket member is a casting or other form of metal shaped to produce a rectangular body portion 5 to receive the stud, post or similar upright member G to be supported. The socket member mayhave any other shape to correspond to the cross section of the upright member. The socket member has an outstanding flange 7 projecting from its sides and extending entirely around the member, said flange being located intermediate the top and bottom thereof., From one side of the member projects a hook 8 havingA a shank 9which is channeled or V-shaped in cross section, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, the channel being at the bottom.

Fig. l shows how the socket member 5 is employed. Two of such members are shown embedded in the concrete floor 10 and tied together by a wire or other tiemember 11 madefast to the hooks 8 of the respective socket members. In placing the socket members, two of slich ane located opposite each other with their hoo-ks pointing The concrete material forming the iioor l() is filled in around th'e socket members flush with the top thereof, which embeds the parts 7, 8 and 9 aswell as the tie'member 11 in said material. The flange 7 efiectnally prevents j vertical displacement of 'the socket member, and the channeled part 9, which is ency toward tilting or lateral displacement, and the socket member is thus firmly embedded and anchored in the floor.

l Fig. 5 shows a socket member 12 designed to hold a corner post, said member having two parts which are arranged at a right angle to each other, and Jfrom each of said parts a shank ,13 extends having means for attaching a tie-member 14 which connects the angle socket member with an intermediate member 15, said intermediate member having Shanks 16V projecting from opposite ends for attachment of the tie-members.

Fig. 6 shows another form of socket member 17 for a corner, this member, however, being rectangular and in all respects similar to the member shown in Figs. 1 to 4 with the exception that it has two projecting Shanks 18 for attachment of tie-members 19 which connect with intermediate socket members 20.

I claim:

A socket member of the character described comprising a body portion having tie-rod anchoring .means projecting from one side thereof, said means comprising a hori- JOHN A. sANQUisT.
